EUGENIO IRSPERO LAREE, OF SANTA CLARA, CUBA, ASSIGNOR- TO HIMSELF AND HILARIO YSABA Y LAZARTE, F SAME PLACE.

i PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,661, dated July 29, 1884.

Application filed December 24, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGENIO Pnosrnno LARIJE, of Santa Clara, in the Island of Cuba, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Flows; and the following is declared to be a description of the same.

My invention relates to that class of plows or cultivators wherein the soil is turned over at each side of the plow by a double moldboard; and my improved plow is especially adapted for use in the cultivation of sugarcane, tobacco, and corn.

My invention consists in a plow wherein the colter and share are of peculiar shape and construction, and are held together by a projection upon the colter and by a standard passing through both, and wherein said standard is adjustably connected to the beam, and the double mold-board is adjustable and can be spread or contracted and be held in place by a pin and segments attached to the moldboards.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved plow. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same, and Fig. 3 is a plan of the same.

.The plowshare a is constructed with the chiselshaped end a and the arms b b, and the handle-beam e is made wedge-shaped on the forward end, and fits into and between the arms b-b.

The colter d is sharpened upon its inclined forward edge at 1, and sectionally is quite thick in front, and it is made with a projection or nose, 0, that passes through a mortise in the share a, and is riveted up secure. The back of the colter d is constructed with two projections, ff, the projection f and lower edge of the colter resting upon the share a and arm b, and I employ a bolt. g, passing through the projection f, arms I) b, and beam 0, securing them firmly together.

The standard it passes through a mortise or slot in the projection f, and also through a slot in the arms I) b and beam 0, and it is fastened in place by a bolt, 2, through the beam 0. The upper part of the standard it is notched and passes through a mortise in the draftbeam i, and there is a cross-pin, 3, of metal, in the beam 1', that enters one of the notches in the standard it; and I employ a wedge, 70, to lock those parts after the pin 3 has been put in the right notch, giving the plow the proper pitch or draft. 1

The end of the handle-piece Z is mortised into the beam 0, and there is a mortise in Z, also, for the tenon upon the end of the draft beam 2', and I employ a wedge, to secure these parts together after adjustment and during use. Any desired form of handles may be employed upon the handle-piece Z.

The double mold-boards m m, of thin cast metal, are pivotally connected to plates a n by pins 4 5 at the sides of the colter d and beam 0, and I employ segments hinged to the mold-boards; and said segments are held in position upon a bar, 1", by a pin, 1;,- and Iprovide holes in the segments for said pin, so that the spread of the mold-boards can be regulated at will by the user.

I have shown a pin, 6, above the plate a and through the standard, for keeping or assisting in keeping the parts in place.

This construction of plow is especially adapted to the cultivation of sugar-cane, tobacco, and corn, and it is possible with its adjustable mold-boards to throw more or less soil over at each side, according to the spread of the mold-boards.

The parts of this plow can be separated, and they are inexpensive.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination, in a plow, of the share a, arms I) b, beam 0, colter (Z, projections ff, standard h, draft-beam Z, handle-piece Z, moldboards on m, and means, substantially as set forth, for connecting said parts together, for the purposes described.

2. In a plow, the combination, with the share at, arms I) b, and colter d, of the projections f f upon said colter, the standard h,

' passing through the parts, bolts for connecting the colter-beam and share together and to the standard, and the adjustable mold-boards m m, as and for the purposes set forth.

3-. In a plow, the combination, with the handle-beam, of the notched standard h, the mortised draft beam Z, and handle-piece Z, a pin, 3, in the draft-beam for engaging the notches in the standard, and wedges k k, for locking and holding the parts in place, as and for the purposes set forth.

Signed by me this 13th day of December, A. D. 1883.
